Weak gravitational lensing by dark clusters

Weak gravitational lensing by dark clusters

We calculate the abundance of dark matter concentrations that are sufficiently overdense to produce a detectable weak-gravitational-lensing signal. Most of these overdensities are virialized haloes containing identifiable X-ray and/or optical clusters. However, a significant fraction are non-virialized, cluster-mass overdensities still in the process of gravitational collapse — these should produce …
